"food that'll make people think your food budget is as big as scar face's coke budget..."
Hello friends and lovers,
I go home in two days and up until Saturday, there was a lot of pressure and a lot of stuff to do. I finished my grad school application in the nick of time, came back from a two days long trip to Jersey Island with 21 kids (this could be hours of anecdotes on its own), and went to a lot of various goodbye get-togethers.
Yesterday there was this amazing music festival where all the local bands play out in the middle of the street. The whole town was filled with every conceivable genre of music. Every street corner was a stage and the crowds stringing one performance to the other never thinned, from street to street, all the way up and down the length and width of the city.
THE DEAL
Ok so, here's the deal: I bought the provisions for the Frenchie French party I want to throw (and I want everyone to come to). I bought some fancy apéritif and wine and cider, even some 30 month old comté (cheese) and some other amazing things.... but I also bought some cured sausage. I want to bring it in, but I'm not sure if it's allowed. Does anyone know? Losing 30 bucks worth of cured artisanal sausage at the airport would break my heart. And I really really want to share at least this tiny part of my life here with you guys back home.
So what's the best way to bring it back?
Also, in case your hipster radar is broken:
